orphans answered Saturday June 17 2006, 12:22 pm: Nothing is wrong with you. If talking to yourself meant that you had some mental disorder, about 96.6333% of us would have a mental disorder. Tons of us talk to ourselves. It's how we figure out things.
jumadel answered Wednesday June 7 2006, 12:08 am: Hi, It is normal to talk to yourself, but if you do it in front of your friends or in a public area people might think weird stuff is going on. It probaly wouldnt suprise me if everyone talks to themselves. We all say things such as Im sick of this or Oh no not him again. Hope that helps.

Elcee answered Monday June 5 2006, 8:53 am: Absolutely normal and it is something we all do at times. Often its the only way to get a decent answer! It can help to clarify problems and deal with issues without involving any one else. However, when in company try not to talk to yourself brcause some people may find it a bit strange. All the best.

bsktballchick45 answered Sunday June 4 2006, 8:18 pm: Don't feel stupid about it. I talk to myself A LOT!! I have been for a long time. Sometimes I don't even realize that I am doing it until something clicks. So, there's nothing wrong with you. Don't worry about, I don't.

okay, seriously though,it is perfectly normal, as long as you arent like, arguing with yourself, you know?

"but i should have said this"
"no, you shouldnt have! you are so stupid!"
"okay, guys, seriously, stop fighting!"

isis answered Sunday June 4 2006, 9:24 am: It's perfectly normal to talk to yourself, I would think most people do this at times. The only time you should avoid doing it is in public, for the obvious reasons.
Talking out loud can help you to process ideas, formulate plans or just see if something still sounds sensible out loud. It can also help if you are shy of putting an idea to others if you run it by yourself first, say in a mirror. It can also be a type of protective thing to do if you're ever worried about being alone.
So don't worry, carry on doing and join in with the rest of us.
Best of luck. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]

It's true that almost all--no, make that All people do that from time to time because it(talking to yourself) serves as an outlet for all the stress that you have.
HighlandAmy answered Sunday June 4 2006, 1:27 am: Yes other people do this... and by 'other people' I mean every other person on the planet!
'Talking' to one's self (whether it be aloud, or silently) is a completely normal thing and a good way for us to work through problems. Even little problems like: 'Where should I hang this picture?'...'On the wall over here?'...'Yes, that looks like a good place for it.'
Don't feel stupid.
Chicken_flavored_eggs answered Sunday June 4 2006, 1:07 am: More people than willing to admit it talk to themselves. If they say they don't, they are lying liars.
When I was in high school, I talked to myself a lot. It was mainly because I was very shy and intorverted and spent a lot of time by myself. I had to work everything out on my own.
Sherry answered Sunday June 4 2006, 12:40 am: Yeah thats totally fine, your not crazy. It's good to think out loud, it helps you more. Unless your talking to someone else, like an invisible friend named Suzie...it's cool =) [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
